<p>Well I think maybe we should start with a bit of history if someone knows it. What was the original motivation for domain working groups?</p>

<p>so we created the "domain working groups" as an experiment, the idea being that this would be a place to encourage consolidation and effort towards a particular domain, without having it be a goal of any "Rust team" to achieve something in particular</p>

<p>I remember prior to the 2018 edition, there was some talk about doing some "curation" type activities of the broader ecosystem, finding a way to semi-officially recommend certain libraries so that <code>std</code> itself could stay fairly minimal but the Rust ecosystem could be more "batteries included". Was there any connection between that idea and the Domain Groups?</p>

<p>I could imagine something like "sometimes we elect to form a project group with the goal of exploring a domain -- it lasts for one year -- after that it is retired, and maybe some projects are spun out into indep things, some are absorbed by rust teams, and others just get abandoned"</p>

<p>Maybe we should treat these items a bit more holistically... my mental model is now something like a funnel, where Rust users with ideas for Rust features/etc (1) find a relevant domain wg if one exists, (2) form a project group if appropriate and if a liaison is interested, and (3) submit an RFC only once the project group has discussed it for a bit</p>
